Was he signed to a contract. I know Wikipedia is not a great source but says WWE is the only promotion he never worked for.


The only wrestler Vince Sr had on contract was Andre the Giant.

Question:
Why, each years PWI Almanac fails to list any of the US Title holders between feb 21 99 and jan 17 2000?
They've done it year after year .
Seems they site amoung others Wrestling Title Histories as methods of sourcing information .

OK, So know its not really a question that can be answered by anyone here.... but hell .
What Does PWI have against
A/ Us Title holders such as David Flair?
B/ Pretty much 11 months worth of US title changes ?
C/ The colour Sixty twelve ?

Huh???, huh??? ...huh???

I have a standing order at my local Paper Plus, just for the regular shipping one so it's not so expensive. I seemed to miss a couple at the start but they've settled in now.

It's so much fun to read the WWE mag, I love the scenes acted out with dolls and the cartoon "How To" guides.

Ok, so I haven't brought a WWE mag in years . But I've noticed that prices in book stores seem to vary.... ranging from $15:95 to $21:95 at any one time for an issue .
Whats the standard price ?. Ask seems noticed other day, local second hand book store has a shit load of old issues and basicly are selling them at $10 each, Thought that was a bit on the steep side.

LOL.

Yeah, about then for me too. Russo was better suited to delivering somewhat cryptic spoiler-like information

Subscribe...it works out WAY cheaper, especially with our exchange rate with the USD at the moment. It works out about $5NZD an issue I think.

I've had the 3 Champs issue for ages...it came out before the Hardyz issue. You might've missed out on that one Jords.

Yeah, it's way cheaper to subscribe, I just like having scheduled book store visits. :)

It's generally $15.99 an issue I think, $19.99 / $21.99 for special issues that they put out every now and then.

They live by their own warped rules, see also where their NWA US and World Tag title histories start, amongst others.

I did it was around the time we were chatting about when mine will arrive i will have a look tonight. I did pick up the WWE Title History issue last night and I think the WWE mag with Rey on the cover is not far away.

The title history issue was awesome

Except for the part where it mentions Hogan's fifth title reign ending and calls it his sixth.
And then, in the issue, when he returns in 2002, he naturally wins the Title for the sixth time.

I miss the times of "My Time" HHH. "Clean Shaven Beer Gut" HHH was no fun though.
